and the spirits were resumed and con-
tinued up to death, at twenty years OF
age.
A man was placed in his care who
had occupied a very responsible po-
sltion of trust, and who with an insane
indifference had drank to great excess
and forfeited all honor and respect.
He was educated, and was man of
talent and great energy. He was tenn
perate up to forty years of age, when
suddenly he drank to intoxication, and
he was seen on the streets shouting in
delirious way. In two or three DAYS
he became temperate, and seemed to
have no regrets or sorrow for the past.
He manifested no interest in the ad-
vice and counsel of his friends, and
made no remarks of explanation nor
| gave any reason for his conduct. Sew
eral months later he drank as before.
ana returned to his work with the
same cool indifference as to his con-
duct and its consequences. He was
forced TO resign his position as officer
of bank, and gradually went down
lower, until brought to Dr.. Crothers.
He drank periodically, the free interval
being from three to eighteen months,
the drink paroxysm lasting from three
to six days. During this paroxysm
he was maniacal and reeled up and
down the street or was seen in an open
carriage, always going where he was
| most prominent and making public
| speeches. He seemed possessed with
delusions of power and grandeur and
placed himself in the most prominent
places, interpreting the attention he
received as evidence of his greatness.
When he recovered he seemed to have
paralysis of all conception of the
nature and character of his conduct.
On all other matters he was clear and
intelligent, but on this he was silent
and reserved. He recovered and went
to the far West to live on cattle
ranch.
Investigation of this mans history
revealed the fact that his father, who
was temperate, healthy planter,
married for the first time at forty.
Soon after he drank to great excess,
and was after this periodical drinker
until his death ten years later. The
father was delirious during these
paroxysms and spen: his time on the
street and in prominent places preach
ing and lecturing in maudlin way.
When he recovered be was strangely
oblivious to any past conduct and did
not remember or believe he was in
toxicated. The later years of his life
he was very angry if talked to about
drinking, and would not listen to any
counsel or believe he drank to his in
jury. Referring to this case, DR..
Crothers says: "The remarkable SINH
larity of the symptoms of father and
son, coming at the same time of life
and following periodically, noted by
delusions of power and grandeur and
desire to appear prominent, and the
loss of consciousness of the past OF its
relation to the present in his own case,
seemed to indicate direct heredity
from father to son. Irish World.

Men Sent to Jail.
CHICAGO, June 20.-The triai of w. j.
McGarigle and Ed Mcdonald for boodleism
in county affairs closed Saturday The
jury brought in a verdict of guilty, and
gave the prisoners the full limit of the
iaW-three years in the penitentiary A
strenuous effort was made to obtain the
release of the convicted men on bail, as
high as $4,000 each being offered, but
Judge Shepard, not being convinced
that the case was a bailable one, re-
manded them to the custody of the sheriff,
and will hear further argument on the
question this afternoon. The trial lasted
seven weeks. The jury was unanimous
from the first ballot as to their guilt, but
two members held out for \ lesser pun
ishment.
The result OF this trial fell like
thunderbolt On the others who have been
indicted for conspiring against the county.
They are being closely watched to prevent
their leaving the country.

the east-bound Southern Pacific express
which arrived here at a. m. Saturday
morning was boarded at Fiatonia, 80 miles
east OF this city, at 1884 a. m. Satur-
day by two men, who with drawn
pistols compelled the engineer to run the
Tram to trestle and stop it there. Here
the hlghwaymeu were joined by about
oozen accomphces who forced the Wells,

to open his car and safe after beating him
with pistols. While the robbers were
riflng the safe the messenger resisted end
was knocked senseless. After robbing
the express car the highwaymen plundered
the mails.
In the meantime Conductor Jesse K.
Lyons, having discovered what was up,
notified the passeng gers in the day coach
and set them an example by concealing
most of the money in his possession. Near
" all the passengers did the same and
when the robbers entered the car they
obtained from the passengers and con-
ductor not more than from So to so each.
The highwaymen then entered the Pull
man sleeper and went from berth to berth
eXacting money. Lou Meyer, Cincinnati
travelling man, resisted and was struck
with the butt of pistol Mr.. Newbarger,
New York drummer, was severely
beaten because he was slow in delivering
his property From Newbarger the
thieves took SO in cash and s., 900 worth

OF 500. Colonel Quintos proposed to
open fire on the despoilers, but yielded

the round of the slseper the conductor in

TEMPERANCE READING.
"COME, FATHER, COMET"

Twas MONDAY in the crowded mart,
The sun was shining bright.
And crowds we're hast'ning to and fro,
When 10! sickening sighti
Enough to make an angel weep
That such thing should be:
That man himself should be the proof
OF mans depravityl
Within the gutter lying low
A drunken man was seen,
Whose very looks betokened that
A nobler man he'd been!
A lovely girl. some six years old,
With curly, golden hair,
Was kneeling by the wretched man.
Now list, her earnest prayer:
Come, father; come, let US go homer
He needed not her cry;
And striving hard to raise him up
Her little hands did try.
Wearied, the tears fell down her cheeks,
But still she fingered there,
Hoping her father would awake,
And heed her earnest prayer.
The passers-by looked on amazed,
Such sight OF pity and dlSdaln;
And in their heart of hearts they asked
They ne'er might see again.
But needing not her cry at length
The sweet child FASTENED home
Saying: Mamma papa's asleepl
can not make him comei
The mother brushed away her tears,
And said: Don't weep, my child,
Your dear papa vii waken soon,''
And then the prattler smiled.
Sweet child oh! may st thou never know
The bitter curse of rum;
But yet may thy dear father prove
A blessing in his home.
Oh! sweet child-faith! in mercy given,
Lest thy young heart should break;
So may we trust our God in Heaven,
Twill less life's burdens make.
